Ex-NBA player Lamar Odom signs for celebrity boxing match

Lamar Odom, whose NBA career was hampered by drug use, is apparently desperate enough for cash that he will try his hand at celebrity boxing. TMZ reports Odom has signed with promoter Damon Feldman for a June show in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Now 41 years old, the 6'10" Odom was married to reality show star Khloé Kardashian from 2009 to 2016. In October 2015, Odom was hospitalized in a comatose state after being discovered unconscious in a Nevada brothel. He later sought treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. His playing weight was 230 pounds, so Feldman will have to find a heavyweight opponent for him. Real boxers need not apply.
